'Lads'

Ahh that mystical species we call the 'lad'. That other half of the population that some people eventually call 'my other half'.

Short story short - they boggle me.

I reckon most of us have heard of the book 'Men Are From Mars' which talks about the psychological differences between men and women and I think that book hits the proverbial nail on the head. I'm not here to boast about all my past relationships (of which I have none) but just to merely put it out there that I don't think I'll ever understand the male species.

I mean one minute they're saying 'oh I love you, we need to go out, I love speaking to you' blah blah blah then the next minute they won't reply to messages and have blocked you from their lives, leaving you sitting there, Ben&Jerry's in hand, wondering what the hell you did wrong.

So then you start to blame yourself; of course you came on too strong and of course you shouldn't have told them about your irrational fear of potatoes (for example). You then think it's because you were too fat for them, that they didn't like your hair or thought your ears were too big for your nose. And obviously you believe it because why would they have left if they didn't think that??

All I'm saying is that often their behaviour doesn't correspond with their actual thoughts, what with hormones raging and all that, thus making it incredibly difficult for girls to keep up. Not that I'm saying girls make it easy for guys to keep up but that's a completely different can of worms.

I just want a bit more clarity; down with the cryptic signals that befuddle people all over the world. From now on, if you like someone, SAY SO! If you decide it's not working, SAY SO! Don't just leave without an answer; it's rude and causes unnecessary hurt.

I feel I should end this post with, 'am i right ladies?' (please say I am)
